| Interesting thread! Well, I know I love women with large, voluptuous curves. Hips, thighs, tummy, boobs, oh my! I am happily married with a beautiful woman, and every time I hug her I am reminded just how lucky I am. Average women were never interesting to me. And models (tall and skinny) I find alm... |

| Well, 17 guys seems like a lot of partners by the age of 21. I don't think her problem is really that she's trying to pull outside of her "level." I think it's much more likely a self-esteem issue created by some type of abuse or neglect. I don't think she expects fidelity from a guy, because she p... |

"I heard you like profiles, so we put OkCupid into Wrongplanet so you can look for a soulmate while discussing with like-minded people."
I made you another (a bit nastier) one, but I eated it.

| Okay, that makes sense. What I would do is actively observe my physical/emotional/mental states and see what you can do to loosen any negativity hanging around... for example... mental... observing the thoughts running in your head, and perhaps acting in some way to mitigate anything detrimental oc... |

| This will sound trite, but you do your best and then let it go. If you don't win, you don't. You may want to schedule a little reward (a favorite food, a special DVD, that sort of thing) that you give yourself for having taken the risk, whether or not you reach the goal. It will be something to loo... |

| Don't brace, let it pass through you. One way is setting up a collision, the other, a flowing through I've done that when I was younger, but it left me crushed. I'd end up feeling miserable and unable to physically react in a meaningful way. I'm sure this works for some people, but for me, I need t... |

| Dear all, I have learned about myself that I tend to react too emotionally to bad news, especially when I expect some kind of outcome. Like, I apply for something, or take an exam or such. Or just need to know the reaction of a person to me or something I did. If the outcome is negative (application... |

I mean, I feel much better now that we've found help that seems to actually be helping, but I always worry.

| I am 42 and am a fresh father (my boy has 13 months). I knew all my life that I wanted to be a father, but was not sure whether I really have it in me to be one. And my love for children grew, however, gradually and unstoppably. 20 years ago I had various chances to get married, which I didn't take.... |

| Same thing with punctuation: we have punctuation because it makes communication possible. Without punctuation, sentences can be ambiguous, misleading of downright nonsensical. I can excuse people who have some kind of dyslexia, or other issue with punctuation, but usually they try to make it clear w... |
